Could be a book, video, course, college program, etc etc.

Im very curious to see what is considered top of the line education for various different subjects.

    Knitting: it really helps to start with an actual human teacher, but people can self-teach themselves using YouTube only. After you get the basics down, YouTube is great for learning a stitch you’ve never seen before. And that’s pretty much all you need to start reading patterns. Anytime you come across something you don’t understand, YouTube to the rescue. There is also a great community site called Ravelry for pattern discovery, discussion, and yarn information.

      My mother learned to knit when pregnant with twins and waddled into a local store and said ”Hello I need to learn to knit things for my babies" and so she did. She then taught us to knit when we were like 5. She also learned to crochet but decided to not teach us that???

        I stuck with knitting for a very long time before even trying crochet, and it turns out the tension is completely different and I have a hard time with it. I can do it but it takes a lot more concentration. I also hold my yarn weird! I think it’s funny that everyone conflates the two crafts when they’re actually very different. But I get it. I couldn’t tell you the difference between two wood joining techniques.
